A model train engine was moving at a constant speed on a straight horizontal track. As the engine moved​ along, a marble was fir

ed into the air by a spring in the​ engine's smokestack. The​ marble, which continued to move with the same forward speed as the​ engine, rejoined the engine 1 sec after it was fired. The measure of the angle the​ marble's path made with the horizontal was 61degrees. Use the information to find how high the marble went and how fast the engine was moving.

Answer:

The marble was moving in a projectile and the speed of the engine was 2.716 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical component of the marble's flight path relative to the train

is given by the equation y(t) = v*t - (4.9)*t^2,

where, v is the initial upward velocity of the marble relative to the train.  

So with y(1) = v - 4.9 = 0 we have  

v = 4.9 m/s.

The marble will reach maximum height after 0.5 seconds, at which the

height will be y(0.5) = (4.9)*(0.5) - (4.9)*(0.5)^2 = (4.9)*(0.25) = 1.225 m.

Now,  the marble has a vertical velocity component of 4.9 m/s and a horizontal velocity component

of V m/s such that tan(61) = 4.9 / V

V = 4.9 / tan(61) = 2.716 m/s

This horizontal velocity component of the marble is the same as the

speed of the train i.e. 2.716 m/s.

A 0.0663 kg ingot of metal is heated to 241◦C
Westkost [7]

Answer:280.216j/kg°C

Explanation:

Mass of metal=0.0663kg

mass of water=0.395kg

Final temperature=27.4°C

Temperature of metal=241°C

Temperature of water=25°C

specific heat capacity of water=4186j/kg°C

0.0663xax(241-27.4)=0.395x4186x(27.4-25)

0.0663xax213.6=0.395x4186x2.4

14.16168a=3968.328

a=3968.328 ➗ 14.16168

a=280.216j/kg°C

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?
Galina-37 [17]
Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m
